Thanks to PuiYee, I went to KLCC again to watch talented young kids and teenagers perform their own song/arrangement on Electone. This is the National Finals of Yamaha Electone Concours and Festival 2008!

Besides me and PuiYee, another primary classmate of mine, PengThian was there too. PuiYee also invited her online buddy, ShenHui to join the fun. Lucky me to have three girls accompanying me to watch the performances. =P

The Concours & Festival started at 3.30pm introducing all the participants. The Junior Section and Open Age Section are in the Concours Category while Open Solo Section and Free-Style Section are in the Festival Category.

All the finalists are aged as young as 8 to 22. And they are all exceptionally talented, composing their own songs and rearranged some famous pieces from Mozart and Andoh. My jaws dropped when I watch them play.

The event ended with prize giving ceremony and the winners of Junior Section and Open Age Section will represent Malaysia to the Asian Electone Festival in Indonesia.

I rooted for Adriana and Lily and they won! Yamaha should invite me to be next year's judge lah. Hehe...

Kudos to all the finalist and good luck to Adriana and Lily in representing Malaysia in Indonesia in August. Here're two videos from Outstanding Award winner Muse Mob and Best Costume Award Winner Passion. Enjoy!

Last but not least, Happy Burstday to PuiYee. Sorry for the last minute wish. May you have a great day everyday! Billy, out.
